I think it depends your appetite on how much you can eat...it is possible that when you eat less your appetite is reduced too

Some people find it hard to eat the same amount every day. This can be due to the fact that your stomach size has shrunk. It could also be because you are dealing with personal stress which can cause you to not want to eat

This could be answered in many ways, depending on your context. If you're feeling down, you may lose your appetite. If you're being told to eat less by a health professional, you may need less energy each day than you're currently consuming. If you're approaching a ripe old age, your digestive organs may be less functional and you can't digest as much food anymore.

Could be for a variety of factors. These are not just mental issues and can be physical and biological as well including slowing down of puberty or growth. Less exercise or activity or changes in stress levels

It may simply be that your appetite has changed for whatever reason. Our appetites can change when we're feeling stressed, depressed, or anxious. Trying to eat small amounts throughout the day instead of big meals is one way of overcoming this problem.

There could be a number of reasons, as I've found out. You could be feeling a little more down than usual and not feel inclined to eat. Maybe you've lost weight and therefore your stomach has shrunk? There could be any number of reasons, but you should consider yourself as a person and what you've been through recently.

Analyse what has changed in your life- are you stressed about something? Are you feeling down? Identify what the main factor is and think of a way to address it.

Sometimes you can't eat as much as you used to because your eating habits may have changed. Emotions can alter appetite levels and if you are not eating that much your body starts not asking for a lot of food.

I added 20 kgs a few years back and did my best to lose them. I went through several diets and trained my body accordingly to eat smaller portions and do without a certain type of foods and I now can't eat as much as I used.

It could be for any number of reasons, from stress to your activity levels. Don't worry about it unless you get to a point where you feel that it is dangerous- if you stop eating completely- then go see a doctor.
